Follow the program for dry skin.

Special tips

Look for hypoallergenic products that are scent-free. Before trying a new product do a patch test. Rub a good amount on to your shoulder and leave it one overnight. If there is no sign of irritation, apply some to your neck and wait again. If there is no reaction, then the product will probably be safe to use on your face.
